Hacking themes on wii 4.2u

[th3pr1nc30f3gypt]

ok so i used to have a wii version 4.1u
i wanted to install the internet channel because my friend had it on his wii
so i went to the shop channel and i saw that it needed to be updated
then a message popped up about this update would remove illegal stuff (Homebrew Channel, which i had)
so i panicked and stopped
but i found a way to safely upgrade to 4.2u
after i did that, i found out the internet channel was for free [yay!]
so i installed it & got to check it out
on youtube i saw a tutorial of how to install themes on wii 4.2u but it didnt for me (probably because i didnt install a preloader?)
what should i do/download/whatever? [im a n00b btw...]

Yeah, I want to know how to customize the Wii's look too. :[

do a search for darkwii on the board.. you MUST have bootmi & preloader with NAND backup before even attempting to theme your WII.

Try using MyMenu

bootmii is not a must but preloader or priiloader is a must if you want to mess with themes had a few bad themes and preloader or priiloader has saved my Wii's ass from a Bricking
